Were you sleeping today?
Yes
And yesterday?
Yes
And will you be sleeping tomorrow when the moon comes back?
I will be watching the moon
Will you be watching the moon forever?
I don’t know. Do you?
Your voice is sleepy
A penny
Two will get you candy
I want a rope to swing from
I want to suffer
I want to fall on my face like some pig
I want to see someone stop me
I’m too cautious—I’m not too cautious—kiss me
I can’t bite what I can’t remember
I can’t remember what I can’t bite
I can’t cry—I can’t try—I can’t die
Be a hundred and ten
Go to sleep
Say au revoir
She used to be angry
She is still sleeping
He says that’s boring
[He needs to be kissed by someone complicated]
High cloud
Populous raft of confusion
Drifting across the sky—while fur turns gray
Rothenberg and Hollo
